Can we get there from here? Can the 'right' and the 'left' go back to being two wings on the same noble bird?

I know how I succumb to my own darker nature every day. I'm part of the problem and I don't kid myself about it. My own vitriolic rants have time and time again reinforced a wall of separation between myself and those with whom I disagree. I want peace. I want social justice. I want clean air and water and a beautiful expanse of tomorrows for my grand children. I want quality education and unrestricted freedom to learn and express. I love idealism, and creativity. I believe our potential for growth outweighs our tendency to stagnate and decay and do unspeakable wrongs to one another. I could go on forever about "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness". I am blinded by my own experiences and observations. How can I transcend the filters of my perception, and all the hyperbole and histrionics that arises from my own arrogance and worthless 'sense of self'? It is agonizingly futile to go on about how 'I' feel, and why 'I' feel that way, and then that awful word, "but" always comes up. "I'm sorry, 'but....." " I want to help, 'but'......" " I understand how you feel, "but"......"
Honestly, I think the only answer is to accept our differences and simply set them to the side. Is there any possible way to offer an olive branch in the situation that we are in? Can I say, " I hate things that have happened, and I want nothing more than to work towards stopping those things from happening more."? My mind screams to find blame. My mind screams to declare 'wrongs' and point my finger. My mind screams that my ideas are the best ones. I want to shut all that off and simply say. "I hate hating, and I want things to be better for everyone."
How do we get 'there' from 'here'?

How can you play nice with thugs like Avenatti, he has been criminally referred, but not a peep out of the Democrats. A month ago they wanted him to be their nominee in 2020.

@therighttothink50 Well yeah...I have the same 'perceived injustice' issues too. My idealistic musings are simply entertaining the idea of dropping our perceived injustices also. If we could look past 'who diddled who's dog' and try to mend some fences. I know it's a hell of a stretch. I haven't had a "come to Jesus" moment. My resentments and indignities and annoyances are still there, and I know 'I' am still just as annoying as ever too.

@puck61 did you just talk to some leftist woman, lol, you have these moments :)

don't buy their kumbaya, it ends in dystopia.....

@therighttothink50 Well, this particular 'kumbaya attack' was just brought on by a never ending stream of complaints and observations with all the same 'stimulus - response' miasma that it is always enveloped by. "Same dancers in the same old shoes..." 🎶🎵

FISA, FISA, FISA, remember the treason and the take over, it goes far and deep. Those dancers don't even know what the hell FISA is, lol....

Can Obama go to jail? He should, but are we going to let him get off for "peace" ? Hussein gets off the hook for only possibly two reasons: his complexion protection and the violence it might cause if they took him away in handcuffs.

Is it really a tough call for Trump? How can he not let the hammer of justice drop on these seditious leftist scumbags who refuse to walk away quietly? Seditious thugs who tried to frame him with the illegal acts they actually committed themselves.

We need to stop this leftist disease now or we lose our country...The left won't stop with the propaganda, crap and lies. These delusional thugs need to see the full wrath of the law be unleashed upon them. It is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, but it is the only way we return to the rule of law.
